Steam punk weekend

Non yer supposed to include the link!

I suppose it's a party at the lovely restored railway line they have there - featured in "The Railway Children" film. Absolutely lovely!

River, I know honey, thing is I can"t, please don"t send me to the NORTY step!!

I LOVE Haworth

Here you go!

Steampunks

Yorkshire has very strange-looking Punks ..... ours are different.

DS and friends toyed with steam punk. It's really quite beautiful. It's a mixture of Victorian and modern. It's a sort of homage in dress to the age of invention. I wish all the threads were photo threads, I have a lovely one of him and some friends.

Steam punk books are all the rage too, and I saw a girl in a London pub leaning on the bar in full Victorian get up. Of course, it may have been a ghost.

Let's all meet up in The Black Bull in Haworth, in our best bonnets.

I'd be up for that! Unfortunately it'd have to be next year, as Steampunk was last weekend. I have been know to dig out my best WW2 bib and tucker for the Haworth 40s weekend.

ROSES, sounds like plan to me--- goody !!

I particularly like those diddy little button up boots!And lace gloves.

Do you think the Brontes would consider it seemly? X

I like those too roses, look very dainty and feminine !

I came across it recently too - following Google links from a sewing blog that I read, where the blogger had been invited to a party with a Victorian theme."

I think it originated in USA

Interesting Tricia.

Confession - I possess a steam punk blouse. However so far I haven't had anywhere to wear it.

DH was born and bred in Haworth. He has lived in Tyneside for over 40 years and has a weird Geordie/Yorkshire accent. He tells me he used to ride his (homemade) bike through the railway tunnels, as a dare.
